A Taste of Puerto Rican Cuisine - Best Recipes from Puerto Rico!

Here are some of my
favorite recipes of Puerto Rican Cuisine. Most of these recipes use
sofrito
which is a condiment mix based on onions, green bell peppers, red bell
peppers, culantro, recao, and garlic. Meat is usually seasoned with
adobo
(seasoning salt) which is a mix of salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and
ground black pepper. The main dish in Puerto Rico during the Christmas
holidays is arroz
con gandules (rice and pigeon peas), pasteles,
and
lechon
asado (roasted pork). During the rest of the year the main
dish is arroz
blanco con habichuelas (white rice with beans). This is accompanied
by pollo
guisado (chicken stew) or carne
frita (fried meat) and maybe some tostones
(fried green banana chips). Try some of these recipes and enjoy!
